Good pickings in town today, including one of the Dolphin Rings books by Rosemary Sutcliff that I was missing, The Silver Branch, and the bookshop owner taking pity on me when I came up to the till with a pile and then saw the one I'd gone if for (he knocked 50p off).
Got Brendan Kennelly's Glimpses: very short poems, no more than a few lines, vernacular and sharp and funny:
"No place like home," she said,
eighty in her rocking chair
"where you can spit in the fire
saucer your tea
and call the cat a bastard."
